Chapter 10: The Best Sister-in-law (10)
"Yin Yin, after breakfast for a while, you went to your grandmother's house, the last time you hit a tree, your uncle heard about it and came here, carrying a sack of mountain goods, and also sent a bag of brown sugar and thirty eggs, this time you won the award, and also sent some to them to taste, respect and filial piety."
Mother Xu explained one by one, "Hurry home for lunch, mom will make braised pork for you, don't be greedy if your grandmother stays with you, your uncle's life is tight, and it is not easy to ......"
Xu Yin smacked her mouth, when she was something, was she so greedy.
"Mom, then I'll go now, when the sun turns on, will the meat be rancid?"
"That's okay, you can take a steamed bun and eat it on the way."
“……”
How does she eat on a bicycle? Forget it, my mother's kindness, then take it.
Mother Xu's home is in Daao Village.
Although it also belongs to Shuangxi Township, it is separated by several villages and is in the mountains, so it is inconvenient to enter and exit.
From the village to the township, it is still a dirt road that is muddy on rainy days and dusty on sunny days, and buses are not passable.
The bike is also bumpy to ride, but it's better than walking for two or three hours.
Mother Xu knew that her daughter was squeamish, and she would not let her run this leg.
But as she said, after her daughter fainted after hitting a tree last time, her brother's brother walked for a long time with a sack on his back to visit, and it didn't matter if there was nothing at home, there was meat, and there was a lot of it, so he had to return his personal favor.
Xu Yin rode for an hour and finally arrived at Da'ao Village.
Da'ao Village is in the mountains, and many houses are built on the mountainside.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, so Xu Yin simply locked the bicycle under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Still searching for her grandmother's house in her memory, a woman in the village recognized her:
"Yikes! Isn't this the granddaughter of the old Geng family? Come and see your grandmother and uncle? Yo! Meat was also mentioned! What filial piety! ”
"Ah Xiang! Ah Xiang! You came just in time, your niece came, and she brought meat! ”
Li Axiang, who came to Xikanbu to wash clothes, heard the words and looked over, and when she saw that it was really her husband's niece, she put the laundry basin on the stone and stepped forward enthusiastically:
"Why is Yin Yin here? Tired, right? Take a walk and go home with my aunt to rest. ”
No wonder Li Axiang is so enthusiastic, she has been married to the Geng family for so many years, and rarely sees her niece come to the door.
Moreover, he was carrying a knife of meat and two cans of oranges.
Xu Yin followed her aunt and climbed a mountain road to her grandmother's house.
My grandmother is old and her eyes are not good, but my granddaughter still recognizes it at a glance.
smiled kindly and asked Xu Yin to sit down, and instructed his daughter-in-law to boil water to make sugar tea.
"Grandma, don't be busy, don't be busy with your aunt, I'm just here to send you some meat, this is the prize I got for working on the farm yesterday, it's not much, it's only enough to eat one meal, I just want you to be happy."
Xu Yin handed the meat, two cans, and a packet of brown sugar to her grandmother.
Canned food and brown sugar were sold when she passed by the town's supply and marketing station, and remembered that there were a lot of them in the system warehouse.
Didn't she dress up as a peasant girl in her last life, followed the escape team all the way to the south, and finally found a place to live after a lot of hardships.
Sugar cane was abundant in that place, and the energy points obtained by farming the land were exchanged for a recipe for making brown sugar.
Relying on this, he started a workshop and built a manor.
Other fruits are not as abundant as sugar cane.
However, after the disaster year, the weather gradually improved, the harvest improved year after year, and there were so many fresh fruits that they could not be sold, and there was no preservation technology in that era.
simply gritted his teeth and spent a huge amount of energy to exchange the production method of glass.
With his left hand, he carefully transcribed on a yellowed and aged parchment, and hired a little beggar to deliver it to him while the minister, who was dedicated to serving the people and being honest and fair, was passing through her district.
After two years of waiting, the imperial court finally established a glass workshop.
Since then, the price of glass has dropped sharply, and glass has prevailed, which has greatly provided convenience for a series of canned products such as canned fruits and canned pickles.
The canned food and ancient brown sugar produced by the system are not worse than the similar products sold in the supply and marketing stores.
This didn't pack two catties of brown sugar, and I found two cans of canned oranges.
She didn't dare to take anything that the supply and marketing stores didn't have, such as lychee, longan, and yellow peach.
"Come on, why do you still buy these, and you still have a share with your grandmother."
Grandma Geng pretended to be unhappy and counted a few words, and then smiled happily:
"Yin Yin has not yet studied to earn meat for the family! There will be something to be done in the future! ”
Li Axiang is also enthusiastic and smiling:
"Yinyin, you sit and chat with your grandmother for a while, and your aunt will make you a bowl of egg noodles to eat."
"I really don't need aunt, I had breakfast before I came."
"Then boil a soft-boiled egg, it's still early at noon, and pad your stomach first. Your uncle hasn't come back since he entered the mountain, it just rained yesterday, I guess I can pick up some mushrooms or something, and you can take some home in a while. It's not a good thing, just try it. ”
Xu Yin is still quite interested in mountain goods.
Authentic wild mushrooms have been sold for a long time in later generations.
"Does my uncle go into the mountains every day?"
"That's not it, I'll only go a few times when I'm free. Didn't you engage in that co-production contract last year? Our family has a small population, relying on your uncle alone, and the stall is too busy to spread out, so I wrapped a hill close to home, planted some local peach and green plum, this year only bloomed and did not bear fruit, I don't know if there is an output next year, and I don't know if there is a bottom. Your uncle is an idle person, every once in a while he goes to the mountains to pick up some mushrooms, dig some bamboo shoots or something, dry them and store them, and someone will come to collect the mountain goods before the winter, how much for some money. ”
Li Axiang quickly cooked a bowl of soft-boiled eggs with her hands and feet, sent them to Grandma Geng's room, and chatted with Xu Yin a few words of homely things by the way.
Xu Yin's heart moved when she heard this.
She remembered that after dressing as a peasant girl who had escaped from the famine, a batch of improved fruit tree saplings had been swiped out in the system mall.
All the goods that are brushed out can be exchanged for energy points in the future.
After surviving her life, she exchanged the accumulated energy points for several common fruit tree saplings, including peaches and plums, and the fruits produced were extremely delicious.
Thinking so, I logged in to the system mall and took a look.
Well, the system really swelled.
A small peach sapling requires 500 energy points to redeem.
The money she earns from riding these days is not enough for a small sapling.
Fortunately, after the tractor driving skill was brushed out yesterday, there are rewards for plowing.
For every half acre of land, 50 energy points are awarded.
It's a pity that there is still more than a month before the double robbery, and even if there is a tractor in the village, she may not be willing to let her drive it.
So, this energy point is a bit like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey – it's out of reach.
Retracting her thoughts, Xu Yin asked her aunt:
"We don't have some chickens and ducks? I heard from my classmates that people in the city like to eat running pheasants raised in the countryside, saying that the meat is firm and fragrant. The eggs laid by the pheasant are also very popular. ”
"How many are there in the back of the house, and the running pheasants you are talking about are raised in the mountains? Won't you run away and not be able to find it back? ”
"Didn't we plant fruit trees? Erect a few more fences between the fruit trees, enclose a larger chicken farm, let the chickens find their own food inside, and can also peck at the insects that fall from the trees, and the chicken manure can be piled up to fatten the fruit trees. ”
Li Axiang's eyes lit up when she heard this: "This is a good idea, when your uncle comes back, I will discuss it with him." ”
